Actually most of the original super stock classes need some help on the indexes or HP ratings to make them more competitive

In my case I had to run Mike Cotton in his Cuda for SS/IA at the baby gateors last weekend. His car has a 383 combo at 300 HP. My car is a 327 combo at 295 HP. That just doesn't sound right to me. That's 56 cubic inches difference at only 50 lbs weight difference. Most SS cars are making at least 1.75 HP/ Cu In. That would equate to about 100 HP difference between the two engines.
Isn’t it great Mike......
